Sumario:Bone marrow infiltration by alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is uncommon, some cases can mimicry acute leukemia at presentation and mislead the diagnosis.

We report a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma bone marrow infiltration associated with hemophagocytosis and cell cannibalism, mimicking acute leukemia at presentation.
